fuel tank float
Has anyone worked on or replaced the fuel float in a 12 meter international with a 400 gal tank?
Re: fuel tank float
I have 10.8 international and changed my float several years ago. The original one lost its buoyancy over the years. I was told originally they coated a cork with a shellac the broke down. They use different materials today to prevent this from happening.

Following... Ours has started doing this weird bounce thing when between 3/4 and full. Hard to top off without spillage.

Re: fuel tank float
It’s an easy fix... couple screws on the top of the tank and it comes right out. Replace with new unit. Fixed mine right up!

I do have a access point at the rear of the deck, looks like a 2 or 3 inch hole for it there are 2 wires coming out. My boat is Diesel not gas if that makes a difference
Re: fuel tank float
Not sure about the gas vs diesel. The two wires are just the feed for the gauge
